Mission Statement
Common Ground is a non-profit organization, aiming to encourage critical thinking about gender within the education system. We aspire to provide students and educators with the tools to overcome gender stereotypes, facilitating young people's ability to pursue their personal dreams and abilities without having to pay tribute to constrictive gender roles.
About This Cause
Meeting with educators, parents, and teenage boys and girls, our dedicated volunteers discuss the validity and origin of gender stereotypes; critically assess the messages contained in television advertisements and other forms of media; and examine the ways in which we are personally affected by self- and society-imposed gender boundaries. By making the issue of gender stereotypes visible and subject to critical thinking, we provide boys and girls with tools to sidestep some of their limiting influence, and empower educators and other agents of change to have a significant impact on gender issues in their environment. We see this as a crucial part of any education, as concepts of masculinity and femininity often touch at the heart of prejudice, peer pressure, self-image and eating disorders, violence and sexual abuse, self-realization and life choices.
